(32,640 posts)61. So, what's the process for appropriating more money? What is the timeline on that, and where
do the monies come from, and what is it taken away from?
How does this process work along with the executive order declaring "the Emergency" at the border, which is also drawing monies from other projects? What say does Homeland Security have in determining where those funds are used?
Why do you think that this has not already been done, or being done today by COB, if it is as easy as you state?
What if you are wrong, and it's not that simple?
Will that stop the blaming Democratic leaders in Congress for any and all things that Trump does, and hence the negative consequences that are a direct result?
Have you forgotten why the federal government shut down for over a month? Google it.
